I’m sure you’ve noticed the ‘Buy One Get One’ (BOGO for short) bin at your local grocery store and wondered how the store decides what is going to be on sale for that week. There is definitely a method to the madness. Weekly (or monthly) sales generally coincide with events and seasons and also tend to recycle in a rotation of about six to eight weeks. If you miss a sale on an item, rest assured that the sale will come back around in about six weeks. When my favorite items go on sale (non-perishables), I try to load up with enough of them to hold me over until the next sale. Here is a monthly list of events and sales that coincide with them:

I hope this list will help you to plan better and encourage you to stock up on your favorite items while they are on sale. My husband might give me the ‘side eye’ because I have a shelf of deodorant and shave gel in the garage, but he sure is proud when he sees my receipts and savings!
